David doesn't live in the house he's filming in. Maybe he rents it out to people "fully furnished." She didn't tell him not to stalk her so therefore it wasn't stalking? Ay yi yi....

Then where's all his cash coming from? Cause as a former social worker, we were just barely able to skate by the income limits for welfare. It pays shit.

The home decor lady reminded me so much of one of the therapists on HOARDERS...For a second I thought I was finally going to get a new crossover.

Ring lights are AWESOME. Alas, they're not this good...

Love him! And here's where I draw the line on scripted vs non scripted... I totally believe that the seminar was fake. Most of the people involved has said as much. Those women didn't pay and it wasn't legit. I get that. However, those words still came out of his mouth. Even if TLC gave him a word-for-word script, he STILL said them. He's still a douche-and not like Summer Breeze. More like 2 for 1 at the dollar tree brand.

Tight dress girl...It doesn't matter how tight, short, and lowcut it is, if you look like a sausage spilling out its casing when you wear it then it's just not sexy. When the chick was waiting and suddenly bent over, my daughter grabbed the remote and started hitting the buttons while furiously screaming, "Danger, Will Robinson! Abort, abort!" The strange looking older trick is interesting to me. I totally believe she's using him, but she has zero problems letting her daughter get attached to him. My first thought was, "Well, maybe there IS more going on in the relationship than I thought..." But then reality hit and I was like, Nah. She's planting him into her family's garden to squeeze more cash out of him, and he's laying down the fertilizer to make it harder for her to dump him...

At times, yes.

I never felt uncomfortable in western wear, but I definitely didn't feel comfortable enough to go full cleavage or short skirt. I like to blend in a little. I'm all for wearing what you want, but what a lot of the women on the show don't seem to understand is that just because they CAN dress as they do at home it doesn't mean that they should. (And some shouldn't even dress that way at home... looking at YOU BGL and your mullet dress!)

Yeah, I know she's made it clear on the show but in her social media it's a totally different story. Watched a rerun of Avery and Omer earlier. Made me nostalgic for a simpler time...

This is the third time he's pretended to live someplace he doesn't. He seems to forget that some of us are actually familiar with the UK. Or live there. The house in Nottinghamshire he pretends to live in is literally a around the corner from my in-laws. It's empty and has been for years. It's also a designated historical home and kind of a tourist site in that village. Meanwhile, you could stand in their yard and throw a rock at his real house.

And didn't her daughter, Stephanie maybe, also have injuries? I've always said that if I were going to marry into a royal family it would be Monaco's. Although Liechtenstein isn't far behind. I was eating lunch in Vaduz (I literally took the train there JUST to pay $1 to get their glorious passport stamp) and this beautiful couple walked by holding hands. Nobody with them. They stopped and chatted with folks along their walk and even threw me a wave. Once they were gone I asked the server who they were. Apparently, the king and queen. She walked down to him every day for lunch and a walk. So did Brittany convert? She went from "I'm NOT becoming a Muslim!" to "Prophet Muhammad says that..." awfully fast.

For me, all those things are true: she and Michael DO seem to have real feelings for each other, she DOES take care of her grandkids, and she does seem to try to get along with his family... And she's also an abusive asshole who Michael should run from.

Ha ha, yeah. Jordan is definitely one of the more progressive Muslim countries. I always cover my hair in predominantly Muslim areas out of respect and not wanting to really stand out. But I've never felt like I "had" to in Jordan. LOVE Queen Noor. Her autobiography is really interesting. Both she and Grace Kelly gave up a lot.

So I just finished watching the trial on Court TV... That was painful. Give Betty a little bit of rope and she'd hang herself every single time. Her constant eye rolling and loud, exasperated sighing didn't help matters.

I actually enjoy Deavan's posts from a graphic design perspective. Some of the pictures are beautiful... they're just not her. If I look at them for what they are, crazily filtered and Photoshop renders, then I can appreciate the time and skill. She could have a career in book cover design. I know plenty of people who would pay her for these and she'd have an okay career in it. Indie authors pay designers anywhere from $300-$5,000 for renders that, IMO, aren't as good. As far as her trying to pass them off as herself, though? Gurl...we might have questionable taste in TV, but we ain't blind.

Call me cynical, but I don't think these crazy kids are gonna make it...

Shit, don't blame the cannabis for her lunacy! We're trying to legalize it here...

Old fashioned or not, it's still used and not incorrect. We still use it here. My British husband's family does, too.

Libby to family: Andrei's the head of the family and he says we can't have anything but rare Moldovan delicacies... I'm soooo sorry. I'm trying to talk him out of it but I don't want to make him mad. You know he had to leave Moldova under suspicious circumstances... Libby to Andrei: My family says they'll eat NOTHING but American food at the wedding. I'm soooo sorry, baby. I don't know what's wrong with them. They say they're unwilling to compromise. Also, they're suddenly suspicious about why you left Moldova. I have no idea why...

The key to that conversation is that Angela kept saying "what can they say about what goes on inside MY house". Angela probably seriously intends to keep Michael inside her house except for when he accompanies her out. She doesn't care about those people's experiences in the US because she doesn't think they'll apply to Michael since he'll never go anywhere, work, have friends, etc. That's scary.

Sometimes I feel like Angela gets a bit of a pass because her antics are just so over the top. But if the roles were switched and Michael a woman I think it would be a different story. I think the majority of her freakouts are because inside she KNOWS she's too old for what he wants (his own children) and she's afraid of losing him, but that doesn't justify her actions. I don't think I've ever eaten anything in eastern Europe that totally disgusted me. It's mostly just a lot of different ways of cooking meat. I've been to many weddings and functions where I didn't really care for the food. I just politely tried it and then swung through a restaurant on the way home. Chisinau has a bevy of food vendors around the old town (which is where the venue seems to be). They could run out there and buy a sausage or French fries at any time if they started "starving." Those guys stay open until 3 or 4 in the morning.

I realize this is OT but I have to share this... About a week before my grandma died we were in our little mountain grocery store looking for ham hocks for our soup beans. She's down in the meat section alone when suddenly I hear her cracking up. When I find her, she's holding a package of meat delicately labeled "hog balls." She bought them. Do we REALLY believe that Father Libby is paying for this second wedding?

I HATED it on 90 Day Strikes Back when Ash said "Avery did EVERYTHING" referring to sex. If Avery wanted to share that then more power to her, but I find it slimy when the other person does it. Avery is really into the Qanon stuff. I saw a documentary on it and thought it was satire at first.

I feel ya! TLC is not going to give us a non-drama couple. As much as we say that's what we want, it's the Jesses and Toms and Darceys and Eds that bring in the views and advertisers. I honestly don't even care in Kenny's character is that of Stuffy American. I prefer that over Orange Asshole (uhh...Jesse) or Sex Tourist.
